PLN 3

In my reading i read Fischbowl "Is it okay to be a Technologically Illiterate Teacher?". In it the main part of it was saying teachers should be technologically sound. From this blog i think what mattered is peoples standards should be higher and i thought of that when he made his 7 points. He was explaining how teachers,principals and others need to no that technology should not just be something you do on your on its a skill you need. This connects to me because when people don't no how to do something on the computer your like shouldn't you no this,its a skill you would need. In the world it would seem only mandatory that you have skills in technology everywhere you need to use computers and why not school employees. When he says..
"The phrase may have been useful to start with, but it's been over-used for a long time now. In any case, after immigrants have been in a country for a while, they become natives. We've had personal computers for 30 years, and I was using computers in my teaching back in 1975. How long does it take for someone to wake up to the fact that technology is part of life, not an add-on?"


Makes me think Everyone needs to know there is a change and it wasn't made for nothing computers are very useful.
